Introduction

The project to open the eatery coffee restaurant was an idea I previously chose due to my interest in fast food joints. The coffee business venture will provide breakfast, lunch, and evening coffee to people and tourists of Minnesota State and government institutions with a specialty on offering fresh and purely ground coffee drinks.

In this paper, I analyze the Work-breakdown structure (WBS) of this project, which divides the main work of opening eatery coffee into smaller activities, which acts as a guide to accomplish the desired results. In this, we look at the business idea of the creation and distribution of eatery coffee in Minnesota State. The WBS shows the breakdown of core activities before the grand opening of the eatery coffee in Minnesota State. These activities are supposed to be scheduled for smooth implementation of the events and ensure the time efficiency of 6 months is achieved.

The core activities include deciding where the capitalization of the business, the furniture to be bought, site location, kitchen designing, wall paintings and decoration, recruitment and training of staff and ordering the supplies, stock, buying of equipment, utensils, and computers.

The WBS and project schedule below shows the core activities with duration and anticipated budget of every action.
